The Second Annual Western Regional Legal Writing Conference

Olympic Gold: The Teaching, Scholarship, and Service Triathlon

Oregon Law hosted the Second Annual Western Regional Legal Writing Conference on August 10 and 11, 2012, at the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene, Oregon. We welcomed over 80 professors from across the country to our campus, where more than 50 presenters shared their ideas around our conference theme: Olympic Gold: The Teaching, Scholarship, and Service Triathlon.

Our plenary speaker, Judy Stinson, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Clinical Professor of Law at Arizona State University, shared her thoughts on succeeding in a discipline that requires each of us to balance so many different roles.

The conference was supported in part by Carolina Academic Press and LexisNexis.

We are grateful to Dean Stinson, our sponsors, and to each of the presenters and attendees who made the trip to Eugene, Oregon to share their ideas with colleagues and friends.
